Some furloughed workers recalled to duty

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government shutdown lingers on, but thousands of furloughed workers have been trickling back to work as federal agencies deal with safety issues and other emergencies.

The Federal Aviation Administration has recalled hundreds of safety inspectors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention brought back scientists to track an outbreak of salmonella in raw chicken. And members of Congress have called back staff to handle the backlog of legislative paperwork.
